This was the only glimpse of the Swan’s eggs I ever got – the next day they and the Swans were gone.

Mr. Swan went for a swim when I was watching the nest from the bridge.

River Views #209: Springtime Birds 16


I took this photo and the few next ones on April 30th, when I went over to the riverfront to check on the Swan’s nest again. It turned out to be the last day the Swans were guarding their nest, because the next morning the eggs were gone and so were the Swans. Nobody was sure what happened, but the nest probably got raided by another animal – I happened to get a glance of the eggs that Sunday and even then there were only five of the original seven left.

Last photo of the Nile Geese duo, they were really fun to watch and photograph.

The Nile Geese are actually smaller than the Canada Geese, almost like a large duck.

The Nile Geese were taking a break on the riverfront and after a while, they relaxed around me.

I also saw a Great Crested Grebe swimming on the river – this was not a surprise since I had seen them occasionally before and even photographed a nest a couple of years ago!
